63stack··on Claude mixes up who said what
They will roll out the "trusted agent platform sandbox" (I'm sure they will spend some time on a catchy name, like MythosGuard), and for only $19/month it will protect you from mistakes like throwing away your prod infra because the agent convinced itself that that is the right thing to do.

Of course MythosGuard won't be a complete solution either, but it will be just enough to steer the discourse into the "it's your own fault for running without MythosGuard really" area.

63stack··on I've sold out
Which model are you using it with? I imagine it's bring your own model?
63stack··on Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with the Feb updates
Fingers crossed on RAM/HDD/GPU prices coming back
63stack··on I Won't Download Your App. The Web Version Is A-OK
Unfortunately you won't be able to submit any expenses then, because the company uses this other company who only offers an app for accounting.
63stack··on I Won't Download Your App. The Web Version Is A-OK
Yes you will download the app because we will not offer a web version.
63stack··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
I agree with parent, "having a contract" gives you nothing tangible. Big tech providers get hacked quite commonly nowadays, some with glaringly embarrassing vulnerabilities like "the admin password was admin". All your data leaks, and the most you get from them going "sorry".

Having the ability to sue, and having the resources to sue is also not the same.

The amount of times I had to deal with support cases (as the reporter, not the handler) where I felt like the support person was actually incentivized to solve my problem vs just following the script is astonishingly low. Even with paid support. Paid support just means you get to follow their script faster.

63stack··on Proton Meet isn't what they told you it was
Debian requires unattended-upgrades to be installed (it's not installed by default), Mint and Fedora has the option of enabling automatic updates (disabled by default), Arch has no mechanism for automatic updates.

Which ones are these "most distros"?

63stack··on Proton meet isn't what they told you it was
Linux as in the kernel? Who is "they"? Torvalds?
63stack··on Android Developer Verification
It's not broken, it's the process ???

What would you consider broken?

63stack··on Coding agents could make free software matter again
Github has posted that they will now train on everyone's data (even private) unless you opt out (until they change their mind on that). Anthropic has been training on your data on certain tiers already. Meta bittorrented books to train their models.

Surely if your license says "LLM output trained on this code is legally tainted", it is going to dissuade them.

63stack··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
Is this the first time you are reading HN? Every day there are posts from people describing how AI crawlers are hammering their sites, with no end. Filtering user agents doesn't work because they spoof it, filtering IPs doesn't work because they use residential IPs. Robots.txt is a summer child's dream.
63stack··on Anatomy of the .claude/ folder
The article starts off really weak:

>Claude Code users typically treat the .claude folder like a black box. They know it exists. They’ve seen it appear in their project root. But they’ve never opened it, let alone understood what every file inside it does.

I know we are living in a post-engineering world now, but you can't tell me that people don't look at PRs anymore, or their own diffs, at least until/if they decide to .gitignore .claude.

63stack··on The 'paperwork flood': How I drowned a bureaucrat before dinner
Not that I'm entirely onboard with it, but often you don't have a channel to communicate with "the people who can change the machine", only the cogs in the machine.
63stack··on Overcoming the friendship recession
If the schedules align they will pick up, if not they will see the missed call and call back when they have time.
63stack··on PC Gamer recommends RSS readers in a 37mb article that just keeps downloading
Both are measuring the amount of data transferred, one with hot cache, other is without. The number is not inflated.
63stack··on The future of version control
Is this the Bram Cohen who made bittorrent? There is surprisingly little information on this page.
63stack··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
Assuming good faith and giving the benefit of the doubt to google is just naivety.

They have shown time and time again that they will take as much control from you as they can.

63stack··on Stop Sloppypasta
AKA, just send your actual message directly and leave out the llm.
63stack··on I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job
I agree. If I see "unfortunately we receive hundreds of applications from people who don't read the job description, please include the word banana in your application" I will be sympathetic. If I "see interview with our ai bot first" I will nope out.
63stack··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
I was wondering the same thing. It already takes a very high level of motivation and self discipline to go 3 times a week, going every day requires superhuman levels to so consistently.

This doesn't take into account that your body requires rest, and I don't know how op thinks you can combine this with an active sport like skiing, or something creative like music. You will be drained already from the gym.

63stack··on My “grand vision” for Rust
I don't think this is an old man rant, I think you made a reasonable argument. Rust is certainly at risk of becoming just as complex as c++.

I would love to introduce more rust at work, but I dread that someone is going to ask about for<'a>, use<'a>, differences between impl X vs Box<dyn X>, or Pin/Unpin, and I don't have proper answers either.

63stack··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
I removed this line because people will get hung up on it and not see the forest from the tree.
63stack··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
I agree completely, the "democratizing programming" is being overplayed by AI vendors like they are doing community service, and HN commenters use it like a trump card in an argument.

Everyone already had the option to write any code, fork any open source project, publish any of their code, run any of their code but suddenly AI appears and THAT is what makes it democratic? What was undemocratic about it? Is this democracy where idiots are running ai agents that publish smear campaigns, or harass maintainers for not accepting their slop is the democratic future you wish for?

How many (job) positions do you see today that want a backend developer? Frontend developer? Not much because now everyone is expected to be at least full stack, if not also devops as well. The exact same thing is playing out right now with AI, people are expected to produce 5x the amount of code before, if you don't, someone else will take your job that is willing to do it.

Already bloated programs will bloat further, they will require even more resources to run, you will have to pay even more for hardware, they will be slower, less responsive, you will have to pay yet another monthly fee to big tech for their AIs, and people will happily do it and pat themselves that we democratized programming, while running towards the future where nobody will be able to own hardware capable of general computing.

63stack··on Major airline bans 'barebeaters' across all 24 daily flights from UK airports
I would love this to be expanded to public transport in general. Fine them for the same amount as traveling without a ticket. It would clear up so fast.
63stack··on Agentic Engineering Patterns
People are rushing to be the first one to coin something and hit it big. Imagine the amount of $$$ you could get for being an "expert ai consultant" in this space.

There was already another attempt at agentic patterns earlier:

https://agentic-patterns.com/

Absolute hot air garbage.

63stack··on Modeling cycles of grift with evolutionary game theory
I thought you can't even get that if you are in an area that is often flooded.
63stack··on Never buy a .online domain
I doubt anyone would blame google for not forcibly enabling 2fa.

I'm pretty sure "how do we disallow running our agents in screen sessions" is on a jira board at some places
